This is untrue.
The facts on removing 🇬🇧 citizenship:

➡️ Deprivation was only possible for treason until 2002
➡️ You can't appeal a decision of which you haven't been notified
➡️ It can be used against any dual citizen if deemed "conducive to the public good"
The #BordersBill allows the government to withhold notification if it is deemed:

➡️ In the interests of national security,
➡️ In the UK's diplomatic interests, or
➡️ Otherwise in the public interest.”
The Home Office until recently was claiming that the Home Secretary couldn't leave anyone stateless.

They've quietly removed that false claim from their 'fact sheet', but it's still up on Twitter.

The government has responded to the petition to repeal Clause 9 of the #BordersBill, which has topped 314k signatures.

Thread 🧵
petition.parliament.uk/petitions/6015…
Government: "Deprivation on ‘conducive to the public good’ grounds [...] has been possible for over a century"
Reality: Deprivation purely on 'conducive to the public goods grounds' has only been possible since 2006. Before then, it was only ever an additional requirement.

E.g. The individual must have committed fraud or treason AND deprivation must be conducive to the public good.

I spent five months undercover in Generation Identity with @hopenothate

I found:
- Links to terrorist group National Action
- Links to the Navy and Trident
- The inside story of their split with Europe

THREAD:

1/ Back in March, I made a fake Facebook profile and added people on the most extreme, violent fringes of the far-right. People who posted things like this after the Christchurch massacre.

2/ Getting into these circles apparently made me a prime recruitment target. Within days a GI member tried to start a conversation by sending me their DNA ancestry test. Totally normal.
